Chapter 10

Naruto's Visit

It has been three weeks since Naruto's birthday and also three weeks that Kiba still hasn't made his move yet. Kiba told himself that the week after Naruto's birthday that he would confess already but somehow he felt a little bit nervous and he hasn't found the perfect way to say it yet. Kurama even called him to check up on his progress but he just made excuses that didn't please the redhead. So Kurama has threatened Kiba that if he didn't make a move by this week that he will personally tell Naruto about Kiba himself. This made the dog lover panic because he didn't want the blond to know about his feelings for him that way. He wanted to be the one to tell him himself.

And more than that, Kiba also heeded Kurama's tip and request and ever since, he watched Sasuke. It turned out that Kurama was indeed correct and that Sasuke did look at Naruto away from what one would consider platonic. He didn't notice it before because he wasn't looking for it. He always thought that the Uchiha was straight, since during their middle school he 'straightened' up some of their schoolmates through his fists. One even got too scared of him and got himself a girlfriend, futile as it was. But no one knew that the Uchiha was only doing it because he himself was one of them and in the stage of denial.

So now that he learned this fact about Sasuke, Kiba would almost always make sure that he stays with Naruto, especially when they had Music classes. But it so happens that Naruto had Literature with Sasuke for their last period during Tuesdays and Thursday when they don't have Gym or Music classes. But Kiba would still make sure he reaches the blond's room as soon as the bell rang so that the Uchiha wouldn't be able to make a move towards Naruto.

His plan may have worked for most of the time, but Sasuke was still Naruto's friend and it was inevitable that for some afternoons, Naruto would spend time together with him and not Kiba. If Kiba protests every time Naruto says he'll go out with Sasuke, he would look suspicious. Kiba would stalk them if he could but he didn't think Naruto would appreciate that.

And with all that, there came a time that Kiba had to leave the blond alone with Sasuke because Mr. Shimura had asked of him to help carry some documents to his office. It was Friday and they've just been dismissed from their Music class. Kiba had already made sure that for this Friday night it would be him and Naruto who would be spending time together and made sure that the blond told the raven this information. And so after carrying what would be about 20 lbs of document to Mr. Shimura's office, as he was returning to the front of their Music classroom where Naruto was waiting, he heard Naruto and Sasuke talking.

This time, a part of his brain told him that he should listen to their conversation, so as to know how Naruto and Sasuke's relationship really stand. When he was near the corner he made sure to walk silently like a ninja undercover. He decided to stay behind the corner and watch whatever it is that will transpire and not act on impulse to whatever he hears or sees.

"Naruto, I think I've waited long enough. I really want us to be more than friends. I can't stop thinking about you." he heard Sasuke say. So it was confirmed for the first time, Kiba himself hearing Sasuke say it.

"I don't think that's a good idea. I mean I just don't see the two of us ever becoming more than friends Sasuke." While Sasuke's face turned into of disappointment, Kiba's heart jumped for joy when he heard Naruto say that. That means the possibility of Sasuke stealing Naruto away from him is low or probably even zero. But there's still more to hear so he just stayed put in his eavesdropping corner and listened to them.

"Last time, you told me that you thought I was moving too fast but it has been a month. I think I've already shown you how serious I am about this. I'll break up with Karin right now just too prove it to you." the raven said determinedly.

"You don't have to do that. I know you're serious Sasuke but you yourself know why I can't." the blond replied sadly.

"It's because of Inuzuka right?"

"Yes."

Kiba's eyes grew wide at hearing Naruto's response.

'So Sasuke has been asking out Naruto but he declines because of… me?'

"I don't really understand you Naruto. Kiba's straight and you'll gain nothing by just being his friend. Who knows what he'll do if he finds out you're gay and in love with him. He'll probably ditch you and spread the word to the whole institution. But I'm not like him. I can give you something that he can't. I can give something more than friendship."

"Shut up Sasuke." It was said under Naruto's breath. If it wasn't that the hall was deserted with people, Kiba probably would have missed it. But Kiba heard it, including the hint of spite that the tone carried. It shut the raven up.

"Don't say another word about Kiba because whatever you said about him is false. So stop badmouthing him just because you think this will change what I feel about him because it won't." Naruto then smiled sadly. "I like you Sasuke but… not in the way that I like Kiba so get this fact over that head of yours and drop it now if you still want to be my friend." Sasuke was taken aback by Naruto's words, or better called 'threat'.

Kiba saw Sasuke lean forward and he realized what Sasuke was about to do. He was prepared to stop it but it seemed like Naruto noticed it too and pushed Sasuke off.

"Don't even think about it Sasuke. I may have let you kiss me many times before but don't think I'm going to let you do that starting from now." Kiba was appalled by what he heard from Naruto. He couldn't believe that they've kissed before and from what he just heard, it wasn't just one time but most likely many times and since when did it start? How could he have been so oblivious? Kurama was right. He should have been more wary of Sasuke before.

"Where is Kiba? He should have returned by now." he heard Naruto mutter to himself. Kiba realized that he has eavesdropped for way too long and that he should act fast so that he wouldn't get caught. So he walked stealthily away from the corner and then walked back to it, albeit with much louder footsteps. He turned around the corner acting as if he just returned.

"What took you so long Kiba?" Naruto asked.

"Uhm, Mr. Shimura has asked me to arrange the documents for him so it took me a few minutes more to get back. So shall we go?" Kiba asked as if he wasn't just eavesdropping not a minute ago.

"Yeah."

As they walked the hall away from Sasuke, Kiba could swear that the raven was studying him. He panicked on the thought that Sasuke might have seen through his lie and knew that he was eavesdropping. But he never made a sound so the Uchiha may believe he lied about his excuse but he wouldn't know what he really did. Naruto wouldn't really like it if he learned that he eavesdropped on them during the time that Naruto was telling Sasuke how he liked Kiba and not him.

...

"Whew. This week was really tiring." Naruto said as he let himself fall back on Kiba's couch. "Hey where's Shino?"

"I think he went to the mall to help his father."

"Weird. Every time I visit your place he never seems to be around. Coincidence maybe?"

'Not coincidence Naruto but in truth, I made sure we're alone every time you visit here. But I'm not going to tell you that.' the brunet thought.

Knock knock. They heard the door sound and Kiba went to open it.

"Hey Kiba, do you happen to have any superglue stocked in here? One of my insect containers fell and got detached." a man who looked like to be in his early twenties asked. He wore as deep purple shirt and black gloves on his hands. And even though it was like 6 in the evening, he was still wearing sunglasses.

"I think I may still have some. Just wait inside Torune. I'll go get it." Kiba rushed to his bedroom to search for the superglue. Torune on the other hand sat on the couch. Naruto has gotten up from lying on it the moment Kiba opened the door so he was now sitting on it too.

"So, you're Naruto right?" the blond heard the man ask.

"Yes. How did you know?"

"I sometimes hear Kiba and Shino talking about you. You're blond hair and orange shirt may have given you away."

"Oh. I like orange." Naruto admitted.

"Anyway, I'm Torune, Shino's cousin." Torune reached his hand out and Naruto took it and shook hands with him.

"Shino has never mentioned you before."

"He hasn't? Well I might as well introduce myself. I live in the room below this one along with my roommate Foo. He's Ino's cousin. We're in our 4th year in Root University. You might say we two are Shino and Kiba's guardian. I mean what kind of parents would let two 16 year olds live on their own? Capable they might be but they're technically not adults yet."

"Yeah I was wondering about that but I never asked Kiba about it. So I guess it clears things up a little." Naruto said.

"I found it Torune. Here." Kiba approached him and gave the superglue. Torune gave his thanks and made his way out the door but not before saying an 'It was nice meeting you.' to Naruto.

"Torune told me that he is Shino's cousin and that he and Ino's cousin Foo are kind of your babysitters." Naruto said to Kiba.

"Did he? Well anyway, I did bring you here for a reason." From out of nowhere, Kiba took out a guitar and handed it to Naruto.

"This one is Foo's. I haven't heard you play the guitar yet so maybe I could get a special performance from you."

"A special performance, eh? That would cost a bit." Naruto smirked.

"How about pizza? Sounds good enough?" Kiba smirked back.

"Yeah that seems nice. So what do you want me to play?" Naruto asked as he tested the guitar, seeing if there were any strings out of tune.

"I don't know. Anything you feel like playing." Naruto heard that the G string was a bit flat so he turned the peg a little bit and then tested the string again, this time sounding in tune. Naruto tried a G chord and after hearing it, decided that the guitar was already in tune.

"Do I have to sing?" Naruto asked nervously. Of course he was nervous. He was about to play guitar in front of his crush and Kiba may want him to sing too. Why did he have to bring that up? Now Kiba would definitely ask him to sing.

"Sure. I'd love to hear your voice." Kiba happily agreed. Naruto took a deep sigh, accepting his fate and started to strum. The intro consisted of complicated plucking and strumming of the strings but Naruto seemed to be doing it with ease.

I was on the road despite the holiday

A wintergreen daydream softly collided and took all my headaches away

When did I arrive? I don't recall ever leaving Alaska

Why do I hate the dark when I'm alone?

I was on my way to a brighter day

I'm still chasing around

But somehow I believe that this is home

It's so good to be home

As Naruto was playing and singing, Kiba couldn't help but be entranced with Naruto's voice. He never imagined the blond who was sometimes a loudmouth ever possessing an angel like voice. It was a little husky and almost dreamy. Naruto really made a good interpretation on the lyrics of the song. The song was relaxing and Kiba felt like he could listen to it over and over again.

Naruto showed off his guitar skills again at the interlude before he continued singing the next stanza.

I was on the ground when I recall the day

That my discomposure left me forever

And swept all my troubles away

When did I arrive? I don't recall ever leaving Alaska

Why do I hate the dark when I'm alone?

I was on my way to a brighter day

I'm still chasing around

But somehow I believe that this is home

It's so good to be home

The song finished and Naruto laid down the guitar. Kiba was looking speechless, really amazed by Naruto's performance.

"So, was I any good?" Kiba heard Naruto ask, snapping him out of his daze.

"Were you any good? Man you were awesome! Seriously you sound like an angel or something. Why didn't you join the choir?"

"Not really my thing. I think I like playing the flute more than singing."

"But you're really good at it. It's a shame that the world would not get to hear your voice."

"Wow Kiba I'm really flattered. How about I hear you sing?" the blond suggested.

"Nah I suck. I tried singing while I'm in the shower and my sister Hana would bang the door and tell me to stop before her ears burst." Kiba said laughing. Naruto couldn't hold his laugh as well. "So what's that song called anyway? I've never heard it before."

"It's called 'Alaska' by Sky Sailing. You may not know Sky Sailing but I'm sure you've heard of Owl City right?"

"Yeah. The dude who can't sleep and sang about fireflies."

"Yup that's the one. His real name is Adam Young and Sky Sailing is just another one of his projects, like Owl City. It has a different style of music so he decided to use a different name for it."

"Sky Sailing. It seems like the perfect name. I mean your voice made it seem like we were really sailing on the sky." Kiba heard Naruto giggle at his statement. "What's so funny?"

"You are actually. I never thought you'd be one to say things like that."

"What? It's what I truly felt." Kiba defended.

"You know, I've always wanted to go on the countryside. Where I came from, we lived in a town similar to Konoha but since it's in a small island, I've never been to the countryside, where there aren't many houses and cars and there are lots and lots of grass and trees. It seems so peaceful. Maybe that's why I like listening to songs like those of Sky Sailing's."

"You lived on an island? Where? How are the beaches?"

"It's my mother's hometown, the town of Whirlpools. And for the beaches, they're pretty dangerous with all the whirlpools surrounding the island."

"I've heard about that town. Never thought you came from there. But anyway, why don't we go?"

"Go?" Naruto asked confused.

"To the countryside. We can go visit my place tomorrow."

"Really?" the blond asked, sounding really excited.

"Yeah. We can ask Torune to drive us there, maybe even bring your new bike with us."

"That sounds really awesome Kiba. I'd love to go. And it's perfect. There happens to be no classes this coming Monday so maybe I can stay there until Sunday."

"Yeah. I'll call Hana and tell her. She said that I should visit home sometime and she'll be glad to hear it." Kiba said as he fumbled in his jeans' pocket for his phone.

"Then I'll call my parents and Jiraiya too. I'm sure they'll let me come since we have an adult to accompany us." the blond said, referring to Torune.

And with not a moment to waste, both teens called their guardians and thankfully, Naruto was given permission to come with Kiba. It was on short notice but Kushina became excited in hearing about it that Minato didn't even get to have a say in it. Naruto just had to inform Jiraiya of their decision and he'll be free to go.

"I can't wait for tomorrow." Kiba said with a smirk.

"Me too." Naruto said with the same excitement.

...

"Naruto, can you please try not to be as excited as you are now? You're wrecking the house!" Konan pointed out to her overly excited cousin. Since Konan is Nagato's adopted sister and Nagato is Naruto's cousin, then Naruto might as well be Konan's cousin.

"I know, I know. But what if I forgot to bring something that I need and I should have brought it?" Naruto said in panic as he went round and round the house, looking for things that he could bring. Clothes were strewn over the floor and even kitchen utensils were dropped haphazardly.

"You've already prepared for this yesterday evening so what do you think do you still need to bring that you haven't already put in the gigantic bag of yours? And what's with the bag anyway, this is not a camping trip."

"Won't you just let me feel excited Konan-neesan. I'm going to be spending two days with Kiba so I have the right to be excited. Who knows what you'll do if Yahiko-niisan asks you out?" And that statement cut Konan off, leaving her with a flushed face.

"Fine, fine. I just want to tell you that you already have what you need so stop storming the house to look for more."

Beep beep beep. They heard a car honking outside.

"That must be Kiba!" Naruto hurriedly took his bag and scrammed to the front door and then to the street, seeing a black pick-up with Kiba and Akamaru peeking through the window.

"Hey Kiba." Naruto shouted at him then went to the car and put his 'camping' bag on the seat.

"Hey you forgot to bring Kyuubi." Konan said as she followed Naruto and handed him the little fox that was in his small cage. Naruto took it from her.

"Here, can you hold Kyuubi-kun for me, Kiba." he asked from the brunet. Kiba took Kyuubi's cage. Naruto has decided to call his little fox Kyuubi, which meant Nine Tails. It was his brother Kurama's nickname in the martial arts field and there was also a Japanese legend of a nine-tailed demon fox so that's where he got the name.

"Naruto. Help me place your bike on the pick-up." Yahiko called out to him.

"I'll help you Yahiko." Kiba volunteered and then they placed Naruto's brand new orange mountain bike on the back of the truck. After making sure it's secured and won't fall off, Kiba made his way back to the car and took his seat beside Naruto. Torune was of course on the driver seat and Shino beside him.

"Torune, thank you very much for driving us home." Kiba said.

"Yeah, thanks Torune-san." Naruto also said.

And then they zoomed off to the countryside. Shino had already placed his earbuds and set the volume to loud. Torune would have done the same but he was driving so cutting off one of his five senses was not a good idea. He'd just have to endure Kiba and Naruto's ranting all the way to their destination.

...

The drive was exactly one hour. There was no traffic in the village and there were almost no cars on the road outside Konoha. Naruto noticed the increase in the number of trees and the vast grass fields and he knew that they were near Kiba's place. Looking out the window, Naruto saw a river, an actual river, and he couldn't help but want to go there and swim.

"Kiba can we go to the river and swim?" he asked.

"Yeah sure. Did you bring extra clothes for swimming?"

"Not really but I brought tons of other clothes so don't worry about that."

And then it was at that time that lewd thoughts erupted from Kiba's mind. Swimming in the river. Swimming only in their boxers. Swimming without clothes. Getting a blowjob from… STOP! You'll get a nosebleed!

"Kiba why does your face look so red? It's like your tattoos are vanishing." Naruto said as he watched Kiba daydreaming.

"Oh uhm. I don't know. Maybe my body just decided to provide more blood to my face than necessary. There doesn't have to be a reason you know." the brunet gave as an excuse. Naruto couldn't hold his laugh.

"Seriously Kiba? That's like… I don't know… haha… it's just… haha… I can't believe you just said something like that."

Kiba was taken aback. He didn't know why he said that reason. He sounded even more scientific and just out-right funny than when Naruto talked about being in tropical countries to reason out his blush.

"Stop laughing would you? Besides, look." Kiba said, pointing at the big house that had come into view. "We're here."

The car stopped and the two teens got out. Naruto looked at Kiba's house. It was a two story country style house which was at least 700 square meters in size. And that was not the only thing worth noticing. It was the huge number of dogs who were charging their way into their direction.

"Gahh! Kiba save me!" Naruto hid behind Kiba like a small boy hiding behind his mother's skirt. Well it was only understandable if you saw around 20 dogs going your way and all you could think was that they were going to rip you to ribbons.

He heard Kiba whistle and the dogs stopped their charging and slowly walked their way towards them. Naruto was still holding his fox and he feared that the dogs may not like him and then decide to eat the little thing.

"Kiba what do I do? You didn't warn me about this. What if they attack me and Kyuubi?" Naruto asked in fear and panic.

"Relax. I've already told them that you're a friend and Kyuubi's from here so they know him. Just let the dogs walk towards you and let them sniff your scent so they can familiarize with you. Just stand your ground and don't panic." Kiba instructed.

"Okay." Following what Kiba said, Naruto stood his ground and let the dogs flood him along with their noses. His sweat was dripping and it was all he could do not to run away. But he remembered that running away from dogs will only encourage them to chase you, thinking that you want to play with them and Naruto had no intention of testing that theory.

After about two minutes and the dogs had their fill, they returned one by one to the yard to play with each other, Akamaru included. Naruto didn't even notice but his bike was already placed on the sidewalk and the pick-up had already left.

"I'll take your bike to the shack." Kiba offered. Naruto nodded and they stored his bike there, then they entered Kiba's house. It was huge. It was not what was in Naruto's mind. He didn't know Kiba's family was this rich. But not that it shocked him that much. He was used to this sort of things anyway. He may not have mentioned it to Kiba but his family are also well-off and Naruto's real house was even way bigger than this one. But the difference was that the Inuzuka compound is a compound and the property was huge, about 3 hectares and there were other small houses surrounding the main house, not to mention the large number of cages with the dogs that they are well known to breed.

"Hey there. You must be Naruto." A woman who looked to be in her early twenties with a long brunet hair tied in a ponytail and sharing the same red fang tattoos on her cheeks said as she climbed down the stairs. "I'm Kiba's sister Hana. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Naruto."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Hana-san." Naruto replied.

"Please just call me Hana." she said, raising one hand to Naruto. "So, you guys must be hungry."

"Yeah we're starving." Kiba agreed. And not so long after, they found themselves eating the special sandwiches that Hana prepared for them. To Naruto's surprise, instead of meat or a sandwich spread inside, it was special noodles that were used as a filling. Naruto never had anything like that before and since he himself likes noodles, from ramen especially, he gave it a try and found himself liking it.

"This is delicious." Naruto said with honesty.

"They're one of Hana's specialties. She enjoys cooking Japanese cuisine as a hobby, well since we have Japanese ancestry. And she's really good at it. I really missed your cooking Hana." Kiba said, turning to his sister.

"I'm just glad you and your boyfriend likes it." she said, with an evil little smirk on her lips. Kiba realized it immediately and prayed to every deity out there that Naruto didn't hear that one word that Hana intentionally said.

"HEY WE SHOULD GO BIKING AFTER THIS NARUTO, WHAT DO YOU SAY?" Kiba abruptly said in a booming voice.

"Don't talk so loud while you're at the table Kiba." Hana scolded him, not expecting Kiba to speak out like that after she said the word 'boyfirend'.

"Uhm sorry, it was just kind of a spur-of-the-moment thought." Kiba said as he put a hand on the back of his head and laughed nervously. He inconspicuously turned to look at Naruto's reaction and it seemed that he just looked surprised about his sudden outburst so maybe he didn't hear what Hana said. Or at least he was good at hiding it. But then again, Naruto's cheeks had a slight tint of red in them so maybe he heard it. But since Kiba had successfully made a show of himself, Naruto probably had forgotten about it already so there should be no need to worry, right?

"Now why don't Naruto and I go out and get our bikes?" Kiba said as he stood up from his seat and then grabbed Naruto by his arm to lead him away from the table. "We'll see you later at lunch, sis." he managed to say in a normal tone but his glaring eyes implied 'You're dead!' to his sister.

"Uhm, thanks again for the food Hana. It really was delicious." Naruto said as he excused himself.

"Yeah. Have fun you two." Hana just happily waved at them.

...

"So, are you ready?" Kiba asked, himself now mounted on his own bike.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded as he finished placing his helmet on and was also mounted on his brand new bike.

"Then let's go."

Both of them started to pedal and not too long, they were going downhill at about 15 kph. The wind was hitting their faces wildly and Naruto had never felt as free as he was then. He enjoyed the sceneries that the countryside has to offer. It was just like he imagined. The leaves were falling from the trees signifying autumn and their orange and brown colors were a sight to behold as the wind carried them. Naruto saw the same river he did when he was in the car, parallel to the road they were travelling on. They were biking for about 20 minutes when Naruto heard Kiba shout.

"Hey Naruto look at me!" When Naruto turned his head, he saw that Kiba was riding hands free from the bike's handle as if it was a very simple and not a dangerous thing to do.

"Whoa that's cool. But isn't that a bit dangerous Kiba?" Naruto asked with worry.

"The road is perfectly straight and there aren't any small rocks on it. And there isn't a car within a kilometer distance from us so I should be fine." Kiba assured him.

"Okay but take care of yourself."

"Got you." Kiba decided that he should heed Naruto's advice and so he placed his hands back on the handle. He really didn't want his best friend worrying about him. "You want an advice, Naruto?"

"An advice? Yeah sure, what is it?" the blond asked curiously.

"Talk with your mouth pointing down a bit."

"Why would I point it… (cough, cough, cough)"

"See I told you. Nasty little creatures these small bugs are." Kiba laughed softly.

"Eww! I think I got one on my mouth. Why didn't you warn me earlier?" Naruto complained to his amused biking buddy.

"I just did you know."

"Hey I want to stop here." Naruto called out and both of them stopped beside the road. Naruto took out the water bottle from his bike and then gargled with it to clear any remnants of the bug that he almost swallowed.

"That was really gross." he exclaimed.

"Come on it's just a little bug." Kiba chuckled. He also took out his own water bottle and took a drink from it.

"Then why don't you try eating one." Naruto challenged.

"Believe me. That knowledge comes from experience." That statement seemed to satisfy Naruto and so he let the bug topic go.

"Hey, how long does that river run?" the blond asked.

"I think it goes until the other town. Want to swim?"

"Yeah I'd love to."

"Once we get back to the compound we can swim there. The river runs inside it so it will be safer if we swam there." Kiba explained.

"Awesome."

...

"You're back already." Hana stated when both boys entered the house. They seem pretty excited about something so that was maybe the reason why they came back early.

"Hey sis, we're going out for a swim in the river so I just came by to let you know." said Kiba.

"Okay but take Akamaru with you. He's a good swimmer and in case anything happens, he'll make sure your safe."

"Thanks. We'll have our lunch after swimming."

"If you want I can prepare you your lunch so that you can just eat by the river. Sounds good?" Hana offered. She was such a sweet sister to Kiba, but she liked to tease him and sometimes she had hidden intentions.

"Even better. Where's mom anyway?"

"She's out of town to attend a three day seminar about domestication. It seems that the domesticated foxes really interested her and she wants to try and do it with other related species. She'll be back by Tuesday." Hana informed him.

"Uh, okay. Why don't we play some video games while we wait for Hana's cooking?" Kiba proposed to his best friend.

"Great. Do you have any shooting games? I really love those. It gets up my adrenaline."

"Sure. How about Far Cry 3?" the brunet suggested.

"Awesome. I know how to play that game. Let's do multiplayer online."

Kiba and Naruto made their way into the living room. Kiba set the Xbox One up and inserted the Far Cry 3 DVD. Naruto took the couch and the wireless controller. Kiba sat next to him with his own controller, trying to find the closest possible distance he could sit with Naruto without being 'too close' to him.

Soon the two were playing a Free-for-all and Kiba was beating the heck out of Naruto. Every time that Naruto respawned, it seemed like Kiba manages to find him immediately and starts shooting at him before he could even get better weapons. The blond was sporting a scowl on his face and glaring at Kiba every time he got killed in the game. Kiba was just laughing at Naruto and clearly enjoying that there was a game where he could best the blond. Their matches in Tekken 6 always ended in Kiba losing and Kiba also made faces at those times. But now that the situation was reversed, Kiba was relishing every moment of it.

"Come on Kiba. Couldn't you go shoot at the other players and let me get some momentum? I've only managed to get 5 kills and you already have 24." Naruto complained and pleaded at the same time.

"Okay. I was just having fun because you always beat the crap out of me in Tekken 6. I'll try to ignore you on the battlefield."

And when Kiba did just that, Naruto started to enjoy the game as well, shouting and yelling whenever he killed another player. Kiba decided that he liked Naruto's happy face better, though he could still say that a pouting Naruto also looked cute.

'Today I'll tell him. At the river, and we'll finally be more than just friends.' Kiba told himself as he played the game with his best friend and crush.

"Hah! I got you Kiba." the blond exclaimed. Even if Kiba's character got killed, he just smiled because he knew that the thought he just had was worth losing focus and being shot by Naruto in the game.

"Okay, no more Mr. Nice Guy, Naruto. Prepare yourself for my bullets."
